I stayed here for three nights at the start of my 3-month excursion around the US. It was just what I needed after an eight-hour flight and one-hour subway ride with a ridiculously heavy suitcase. The place is down a quietish street, so the cacophony of NYC activity is still audible but not enough to prevent sleep.

The queen room was a little small - fine for me as a solo traveller, but it would have been boxy for a couple. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, modern and fully stocked. The TV had a good selection of channels and the wifi signal was strong.

The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant next to the hotel, but I didn't use it - there are so many great places to go in Manhattan. I was disappointed that breakfast wasn't included in the room rate, although there was a facility to make hot drinks in the lobby.

I booked this room at a discount through a third party website. In all honesty, if I'd paid full price for it I would have felt ripped off. It's a nice enough place, though, and very conveniently located - great for a short stay.

This hotel was nice, clean and tge service was excellent. It was near a subway and food was in walkimg distance at any time a night. The shower was small which was only a problem because the water pipe got really hot( which was noted to be careful righr on it.) little space plus a hot pipe equaled a nervous shower. We stayed for our wedding night. The room was nice and pretty and they included free wine which was nice.

This was a very pleasant, modern place to stay for a short N.Y. visit (although I would've liked a small chair, and just a bit more place in the bathroom to set supplies down on (the one shelf below the mirror is rather teeny!); there is room enough...The other thing that's a bit off-putting is having a room with no window (skylight only). I don't know about New York, but in many cities or regions, a room without a window would not conform with local building codes, and would therefore be illegal (fire-escape issues, etc.) In all other respects, I think it is really very good value for the money and an excellent location, too...

Room Tip: I would think they have at least some rooms with windows...one should ask about that (I would have...

This hotel is our favorite place to stay in the City. The staff is always super helpful. The location is perfect as its only 5 blocks from Union Square where you can grab almost any subway line. The hotel is always clean and well taken care of. This is our go to place to stay whenever we travel to NYC.

Sketchy entrance with little signage and really dirty exterior. Lobby very small but serviceable. Rooms are tiny but clean with decent sized bathroom. No tub, but good shower. Only one elevator, which was also used for service by restaurant next door so often long delay. Service was very friendly.

I found the Hotel Verite on tripadvisor and was impressed by the number of positive comments. The entrance on 19th Street is very narrow (the cabdriver commented that he had never known the place existed) but once you're inside, expect a spotlessly clean nicely decorated lobby and a warm welcome. The hotel room was pristine; everything polished and glowing; super-comfortable beds and plenty of room for everything. That said, we were in the '-02' bank of rooms (402 to be exact) and looking at the floor layout, we'd clearly gotten the largest room on the floor. Although the room had large windows overlooking 19th Street, it was extremely quiet all night long and during the day as well. Another reviewer commented on noise from other rooms but we heard none of it. The upscale Korean restaurant Bonn Joo is excellent and clearly a favorite with both native New Yorkers and Koreans. As other have said, the location is wonderful. A quick walk to Union Square (don't miss the farmer's market); lots of shopping. A longer but very pleasant walk to Times Square and the Theatre District.The Verite feels like a pleasant small hotel you'd stay at in London or Paris (but for the price, the Verite is MUCH nicer!). We will definitely stay here for our next trip to NY

Room Tip: The '02 rooms are large with windows but very quiet

My mom and I stayed at Hotel Verite over Easter weekend for our annual Girl's Trip (we take one every year, and this year NYC was the destination). We needed a hotel room that was centrally located, affordable, semi-cute and not disgusting as my Mom is pretty paranoid about bed bugs and was a tad skittish about staying in a hotel in the city.

Hotel Verite certainly fit the bill. We spent very little time in the room itself, aside from sleeping and a few quick trips to drop off our shopping bags and change our shoes/put on bandaids. But the time we did spend in the room was great--the room was clean/nicely appointed/and had working WiFi! Win! But the best part is the hotel's ideal location. It's near great shops (Sephroa/Madewell/Anthropologie/Kate Spade NY) and great restaurants and also Union Square AND the Flat Iron District. It was totally walkable to Chelsea, the West Village, as well as the Theater District. Perfect for all our interests.

Also, the staff was really friendly and helpful throughout the check-in/out process. They explained everything to us, gave us the WiFi password and held onto our bags for the full day after we checked out, since we didn't have to leave the city until 5pm (despite the 11am check out time).

Our only (joint) complaint was that the hotel has super thin walls. You can hear everything your hotel neighbors are doing, and everything any random person on the street is doing. Our room looked out onto Broadway on the second floor, and while it was nice to HAVE a window, the subway rolls and rumbles below the avenue at all hours...which was also very loud. If I hadn't packed Ambien, this review would probably read a lot differently.
